meaning in the games I seek knowledge and truth in order to help them grow in wisdom.

Test Yourself: Before we proceed with the lesson, it is time again to reflect and share your thoughts.What is your
philosophy in life? What is your belief system? What are your principles? What are your core values? Use the ideas
of Armando Bonifacio to answer the questions. Your reflection must be reflected through a three-minute video that
will show your personal philosophy in life. Create a video that is creative and insightful.

ANS: My life philosophy is that you should live while you are alive and allow others to do the same. We shouldn't
judge people for the decisions they make because we all make mistakes. You should live your life however you want
as long as it makes you happy and does not harm others. My belief system is as a person or society is the set of
beliefs that they have about what is right and wrong and what is true and false. Live in the moment, nurture family
and friends, stay fit and healthy, do what you enjoy (mostly) and have a passion for, be there for others, and always
keep developing are my life principles. Loyalty, Spirituality, Humility, Compassion, Honesty, and Kindness are my
core values in life. Integrity, trustworthiness, appreciation, empathy, toughness, self-reliance, attentiveness, and
determination are all important qualities to have in life. My core values guide my thoughts, decisions, and actions,
and they assist me in aligning my career or life path with what is most important to me. They are the foundation for
discovering my life's purpose because they remind me and others of who we truly are.

Why should you ask questions? (Answer in 3 sentences)

ANS: We ask question because we have no idea. We ask questions to learn something new, such as asking your
science teacher why the earth rotates. Alternatively, you could ask your math teacher, "How can we solve this,
Ma'am/Sir?"To satisfy our curiosity, we pose questions because we are curious about the subject, such as "What is
it?" "How did it come to be that way?" "When was that?" and a slew of other queries.We ask questions because we
want to know more about the context. For example, here in Brainly, if your question is too vague or not
understandable, we can ask you in the comments so that we can be clarified about your question.

What motivates you to ask questions?

ANS: My motivation to ask questions are the fact that I gain knowledge, learning new things, acquiring new skills,
meeting deadlines, goals and targets.
